HI Sufie...Your attitude sounds bang on! I know that yes, we always have to be cognizant of our thoughts/preceptions/mood...it is ongoing. That's great that you are cooking healthily and Heather's recipe book is getting utilized. I don't have it...but I may very soon. Yoga was great...but I definitely need some more flexibility. My abs really got a work out! (I forgot I had any) and the instructor is fabulous...she has a MEd and knows alot about ayurvedic medicine. We chatted about eating in the seasons, and other interesting stuff pertaining to diet after the class. I felt relaxed and calm all day...considering it is Halloween AND I talked to my Mom (sometimes a source of stress.) About antidepressants: I took them years ago...they helped, but don't beat yourself up over needing them. Make sure you get some good exercise in...natural serotonin high! Digestive Enzymes: Multi Enzymes from GNC ($17) No fridge needed. What an improvement for me! Yes, the probiotics are awesome as well... Those friends that aren't around anymore: They weren't really your friends (my experience)...I feel fortunate that I have a few incredible friends that are always there when I need them including a great sig. other. I found these words to be very insightful--I discovered it at my fave card shop (I'm the sucker in the card aisle tearing up! )
"for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. this perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. happiness is a journey, not a destination." ~souza Hugs and Happiness, Amy
